FALL RIVER — Police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred early Sunday morning at Maple Gardens.

A woman, 37, told police that she went to pick up a relative at the housing development just before 1:30 a.m. Sunday. She said she parked her vehicle and began walking through Maple Gardens when two men, one of them armed with a handgun, approached and demanded all her belongings, Fall River police Lt. Kevin Tetrault said.

The victim said she handed over her purse and jewelry, then the assailants fled. She described the suspects as two black men — one of them about 5 feet, 10 inches tall — wearing dark clothing, Tetrault said.

Detectives are investigating. Anyone with information is urged to call the Fall River Police Major Crimes Division at 508-324-2796 or the police department’s anonymous tips line at 508-672-TIPS.
